SNMP

An Access option (the Settings option in the Control Console) enables

 

(by default) or disables SNMP. When SNMP is enabled, the Access

 

Control settings allow you to control how each of the four available

 

SNMP channels is used.

 

 

Note: For information about how to define up to four NMSs which will

 

server as trap receivers, see Trap receivers on page 55; for

 

more information about how to use SNMP to manage a UPS or

 

an Environmental Monitoring SmartSlot Card, see the

 

PowerNet MIB Reference Guide on the APC Web/SNMP

 

Management Card utility CD (.\doc\mibguide.pdf).

which an NMS that is defined by the NMS IP setting below uses to

 

 

access the channel.

 

 

 

 

NMS IP

Limits access to the NMS or NMSs specified by the format used for

 

 

the IP address. For example:

 

 

159.215.12.1 allows only the NMS with that specific IP address to

 

 

have access.

 

 

159.215.12.255 allows access for any NMS on the 159.215.12

 

 

segment.

 

 

 

159.215.255.255 allows access for any NMS on the 159.215

 

 

segment.

 

 

 

159.255.255.255 allows access for any NMS on the 159 segment.

 

 

0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255 allows access for any NMS.

Selects how the NMS defined by the NMS IP setting can use the

 

 

channel, when that NMS uses the correct Community Name.

The NMS can use GETs at any time, but it can never

The NMS can use GETs at any time, and can use SETs

 

 

 

 

when no one is logged into either the Control Console

 

 

 

 

or Web interface.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Write+

 

The NMS can use GETs and SETs at any time.
